Heide Museum of Modern Art Re-Opening 30 June 2020

Arts, Visual Arts

Heide Museum of Modern Art will celebrate the centenary of
Australian modernist artist Joy Hester (1920-1960) with a major survey of her distinctive oeuvre. Joy Hester: Remember
Me is the first solo exhibition of Hester’s art in almost twenty years and brings together more than 130 significant works
from public and private collections, including seldom-seen impromptu studies that shed light on Hester’s unique style and
creative process.
Acknowledged today as one of Australia’s most original and compelling artists of her generation, Joy Hester worked almost
exclusively in brush and ink, focusing on the expressive potential of the figure and face as metaphors for the human
condition. Unconventional and courageous, she freed herself from orthodox methods and brought a powerful female
sensibility to subjects considered provocative during her lifetime such as love, sex, birth, and death.
